Applying the computer interface cards installed to old-fashioned, used PENTIUM I for the basic optical experiment makes students to have more attention and interests in the experiment, and enhanced the accuracy of the optical experiment. When applied for the light diffraction experiment, the above way of results made the experiment more accurate comparing with those of other experiments operated in advance. In addition, they turned out to be as same as the data in theory. Applying the above way not only for the basic optical experiments to recycle old-fashioned PCs being abandoned but also for the automation of optical experiments in manual could enhance the efficiency of the experiment a lot.
